Most commercial autopilots will have documentation on connecting to a NMEA navigator. Any documentation included with an autopilot should be considered to supercede this document. To connect the autopilotdevice to the program, a purchase of a separate RS-232 to NMEA-0183 converter may be required. This converter will convert serial data from a computer serial (COM) port to proper NMEA-0183 data. Please contact the autopilot manufacturer or local autopilot retailer for more information regarding marine electronic components such as this.

To configure the program to use the autopilot, use the Device Finding Wizard or advanced Device options. Once the autopilot has been configured, consult the Using Your Autopilot section.
